iPhone 4s iOS 9 Release: 7 Important Details

As we move away from the iOS 8.4.1 release date, the attention of iPhone 4s users is going to start shifting to what should be the device’s next upgrade. The iPhone 4s iOS 9 update is confirmed and we’ve started to learn more about its release. With that in mind, we want to take a look at the most important things we think you need to know, right now, about the iPhone 4s iOS 9 release.

In June, Apple announced a slew of new products including a brand new mobile operating system dubbed iOS 9. iOS 9 is the successor for its current operating system, iOS 8, and it’s poised to deliver a number of big time changes for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users.

On stage, Apple confirmed plans to release the iOS 9 update for all versions of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch capable of running iOS 8. That means that the iPad 2 will be getting its fifth iOS update and the iPhone 4s will be getting its fourth iOS update as well. It used to be that Apple offered three iOS updates before cutting off support so this is a big deal.

Apple confirmed an iPhone 4s iOS 9 update and it also confirmed a release date for sometime this fall. Thus far, the company’s been in the business of releasing iOS 9 beta updates and not specific information about the iOS 9 release date. That should change soon though.

As we’ve pushed deeper into the summer, we’ve learned more about the iPhone 4s iOS 9 update and its release. And today, ahead of Apple’s big announcements, we want to take a look at a few things to know if you’re planning to install the iOS 9 update on your aging former flagship.
